The College Swim Connect Roster Cut Tracker
SEC Cuts
What Is This?
At College Swim Connect, we’re committed to providing clarity in the college swimming recruiting process. With the recent rule changes following the House v. NCAA settlement, many teams are facing unprecedented roster reductions.
We’ve analyzed publicly available rosters and commitments to estimate the projected number of cuts each SEC team may need to make. While this level of roster trimming isn’t expected to become the norm, it’s critical for recruits and families to stay informed about which teams are affected and how it might impact opportunities.
Additionally, we are currently talking to over a dozen coaches in our network to determine if/when cuts are actually happening and what they’re planning on. Enter your email below to get a weekly update of confirmed cuts.
Note: This data is based on publicly available rosters and commitments. There could be slight discrepancies in these numbers versus reality. Our values represent the minimum numbers of cuts a program would need to make to match their published roster with published requirements.
Recruiting is changing fast—we keep you one step ahead. Join hundreds of families and get exclusive, up-to-date recruiting insights, roster movement updates, and expert advice delivered straight to your inbox.
Note: SEC Men’s programs are subject to a 22 athlete limit.
